284 The new three gate valves

Wuwei City, the first military city in Liangzhou, is the primary purpose of military guarding the Hexi Corridor. The city has a population of up to 300,000, with extremely strong city wall defense, a huge and complete building complex, a highly sound military cultural system, and developed hand-made capabilities. Moreover, this border military city once had a terrifying force of up to 20,000 armored and 10,000 cavalry, which could easily withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Before February 15, 185, the city was completely controlled by NPC and belonged to the imperial camp.

If there were no Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou led a 100,000 Qiang army to rebel in Jincheng, if there were no Liangzhou Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, to lead the six northwest counties in Liangzhou to encircle and suppress the Qiang rebels, if there were no Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to rebel, Wuwei City would have no possibility of changing hands with sufficient troops.

The turmoil in Liangzhou caused the rapid decline in the troops in Wuwei City and the troops were extremely empty.

Of course, even if Wuwei City is very empty, it is not something that any player force can easily win.

There are six thousand heavy armor guarding the city at level 70, and ordinary players have no chance to challenge it.

In terms of the game process, it is still in the early stages of the game, and it is not the best time for players to launch a battle to seize the city. Only Ma Teng's troops, Ma Wan troops, and even NPC warlords, including the Qiang people, have the opportunity to enter Wuwei City. Ma Teng's army, which is being repaired on the border of Wuwei County, only needs half a month to return to capture Wuwei City and become the master of Wuwei County.

Zhan Xiaobai took advantage of the short favorable opportunity that the NPC warlords had not yet arrived in Wuwei City. With his strong military strength and mobilization ability, he quickly organized a legion of more than 30 players and a thousand-person players in the alliance to capture Wuwei City first.

This military operation is almost a risky move, but fortunately it has been roughly successful. All we have to do is to restore the management of Wuwei City as soon as possible to ensure that Wuwei City is always in his own hands.

It is impossible to manage such an NPC city without the assistance of NPC talents.

Zhan Xiaobai looked at the system time. It was almost evening and there was still less than an hour. Ma Min and Zhang Lin, two NPC generals, would bring up as many as 2,000 heavy armored soldiers back to Wuwei City. They must handle the aristocratic families in the city before they brought the troops back. Otherwise, another military conflict would inevitably occur.

Zhan Xiaobai gave the three major clans and hundreds of NPC officials half a stick of incense to consider whether to surrender to him.

Time passes by little by little.

Tian Bao, who was standing behind him, looked indifferent. He had ordered the killing of several dissatisfied NPC officials, and did not care about killing more.

The young man in Spring and Autumn, holding his sword on one side, looking at the npcs in the hall.

Ah Fei, with a giggle, whispered something to several player legion commanders.

NPC general, with a serious expression.

Soon, half of the incense stick had passed and could not be delayed infinitely.

Following Zhan Xiaobai's instructions, Tian Bao came forward and said, "Dear Wuwei colleagues, for the safety of the city and for your safety, everyone will make a decision quickly! Now, please feel free to express your opinions from the three major clans."

The backs of the NPC bureaucrats were filled with cold air. They knew that this was not just empty talk. The people in front of them were very cruel and ruthless.

The head of the Zhang clan, an old man in a gorgeous costume, said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiaobai, the prefect was killed by the Qiang assassin. We feel deeply saddened. However, the city cannot be without a master for a day. Only when the Lord of Wuwei City can everyone be convinced by the new prefect. My Zhang clan is absolutely supportive."

The chief of the Zhang clan said that not only formally recognized Zhan Xiaobai's status as the prefect of Wuwei, but also agreed that the prefect was killed by the Qiang assassin, and got rid of the relationship for Zhan Xiaobai. This could be regarded as a small plea.

Zhan Xiaobai was satisfied. The Zhang family was quite aware of affairs and decided to defect to him. Zhang Feng had already served as the commander of the army, but in fact there was no need for Zhang to go against him.

After Zhang's surrender, all the NPC bureaucrats began to shake their stance.

Jia Anluo pondered and made a decision. On behalf of the Jia clan, he stepped forward and said, "I, the Jia clan, are willing to obey the prefect's orders."

When the Jia family surrendered again, the NPC bureaucrats and the young gentry finally stopped insisting and asked for office officials.

It seems that the NPC bureaucrats and aristocrats seem to understand the truth that those who know the times are heroes. The city has been controlled by Zhan Xiaobai's player army, and the military power of the Duwei Mansion has also fallen into Zhang Feng's hands, and resistance will not play much role.

In the entire hall, only the Ma family and several small gentry insisted on not surrendering. In the words of the Ma clan leader, "Unless the Zhang family's children are replaced, my Ma clan members will be appointed as the commander, otherwise there will be no talks."

Zhan Xiaobai sneered, most of the officials have surrendered, it doesn’t matter whether your Ma family has surrendered or not.

.....

An hour later, the npc military general Ma Min led a thousand troops back to Wuwei City. He walked around the northwest for half a circle, but did not find any traces of the 1000 harassed cavalrymen by Ma. He felt something was wrong. Did he fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain? It was not good, and Wuwei City might change, so he quickly led his troops back.

But when he returned to Wuwei City, he saw that the imperial flag was still flying on the top of the city of Wuwei City. There were many guns and heavy soldiers standing on the top of the city, and there was no sign of chaos. He couldn't help but wonder, was he wrong guessing? He shouted a few times on the top of the city and found that the city guard was still the original city guard, and he felt relieved.

Open the city, dismount and enter the city.

Zaohou immediately rushed up several NPC generals and more than ten soldiers on both sides of the city gate, tied up the confused Ma Min. Ma Min was transferred by a magistrate's mansion, removed his official position and military power, and took him to the prefect's mansion, and was under house arrest.

Zhang Lin returned to Wuwei City and was treated better. Although he was removed from his military power, he was not under house arrest and went home to rest.

The NPC soldiers under their hands were reorganized into the Duwei Mansion.

The guard forces of Wuwei City have increased to 5100 (4100 heavy invasions and 1000 heavy cavalry), plus 2000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. This powerful force can temporarily ensure the safety of Wuwei City. Unless Ma Teng or Ma plays a big attack.

.....

Zhan Xiaobai then re-arranged the status of the Wuwei family and aristocratic family.

A large number of Zhang clan members were recruited to enter the Duwei Mansion to serve as military generals from all levels of high, middle and low levels, completely suppress the Ma clan and abolish the influence of the Ma clan in the NPC bureaucracy. The children of the Jia clan were immediately requisitioned to serve as chief clans, chief clans, and other important civil officials.

What shocked all NPCs and players the most was that Zhan Xiaobai ordered Jiang Wei, the old village chief of Jiangjia Village, to be appointed as the Wuwei Gongcao, and recruited young children of the Jiang clan to serve as civil and military officials at all levels.

The Jiang family is a Tianshui clan. The Jiangjia Village has a small population, but most of its children are NPCs with both civil and military names and surnames, and there are many talented people.

The Jiang clan, dozens of children entered Wuwei City to serve as official positions, partially replacing the influence of the three major clans.

Jiang Huai was unable to resist Zhan Xiaobai's order of transfer, so he could only reluctantly agree.

The Zhang family, Jia family, and Jiang family formed the three new clan forces in Wuwei City, and restrained each other.

The Ma family was deeply rooted in Liangzhou, and Zhan Xiaobai didn't want to do too much, so he simply "gifted" them to leave Wuwei City to avoid any trouble in Wuwei City.

He won over the Wuwei family for his own use, the Jia family and the Zhang family requisitioned the Jiang family to bind interests, and gave the Ma family to leave Wuwei. In just three or four days, Zhan Xiaobai tied most of the bureaucrats in Wuwei City with his own interests.

Zhan Xiaobai at least doesn’t have to worry about waking up all night, and suddenly his NPC officials betrayed.

Rewarding players on their merits is also a necessary link after the war.

All the benefits will be obtained from Xiaobai Town and the alliance villages in Xiaobai Town. These will be distributed according to the conditions agreed in advance.

Wuwei City restores normal order.

Zhan Xiaobai sent an envoy to take the documents of his own Wuwei and seeking formal official appointments to Luoyang to present to the court.

......

At the same time, on the battlefield in Liangzhou, the Qiang rebels used the excuse of attacking eunuchs to invade Sanfu and invade Yuanling. Sikong Zhang Wen, the general Dong Zhuo, the general of defeating the enemy, Yuan Pang, the general of Jinwu, and the general Zhou Shen led a 100,000 imperial army, and the Qiang rebels led by Han Sui and Bian Zhang encountered the most tragic battle in Meiyang.

The Qiang soldiers were fierce and brave, and had strong morale. They won consecutive battles under the leadership of Han Sui and Bian Zhang. The imperial army had four NPC generals leading the troops, but suffered heavy blows.

The situation of the war is not good for the government forces.

The news of the death of "the prefect of Wuwei City" and the fact that Xiaobai led the prefect of Wuwei and sent the documents submitted to the court to seek official positions to the court, which even gave the court a "heavy" blow. After the Qiang people, Ma Teng and others, Wuwei County also changed.

The court was panicked and in chaos.

All the loyal NPC ministers wrote to Emperor Ling and shouted loudly: "Since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no minister dared to appoint official positions on their own. This is a contempt for the authority of the court. This precedent must not be opened, otherwise it will cause chaos in the world!"

Fortunately, there were a few ministers who were not confused and quickly wrote to Emperor Ling, "Don't blame me! When Xiaobai was in danger, he took the prefect of Wuwei himself. This is a manifestation of his loyalty to the court. To protect the safety of Wuwei County, he will not fall into the hands of rebels such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc. Otherwise, he could simply rebel like Ma Teng, why should he write to ask for an official? If he punished his crime, who else in the world dared to serve the court to death? I am afraid that the hearts of the ministers in the world will be disappointed!"

"What is the difference between Xiaobai's move and rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui? Please give up the order to punish Xiaobai for his rebellion!"

"Once he is forced to rebel, join forces with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, Liangzhou will be destroyed! Your Majesty thinks twice!"

"Treacherous officials should fight against them! Otherwise, if everyone takes this as an example, what kind of moral integrity will the court become?"

"Xiaobai took the power of Wuwei by himself, which is a critical response. The court should grant him the position of prefect and ask him to join forces with the court to wipe out the rebels in Liangzhou. This is the best strategy. How can he force him to rebel?"

The court ministers suddenly split into two major sects, and they argued incitingly over whether to govern Zhan Xiaobai's crime of taking over the prefect of Wuwei. They all quarreled with red faces and were filled with righteous indignation.
